Two Unique Opportunities to Own Land in the St. Croix River Valley

If you've been dreaming of owning your own piece of Minnesota's great outdoors, two unique opportunities on Old Ferry Road in Hinckley offer the chance to create a private retreat surrounded by nature, wildlife, and recreational opportunities.

Located in the scenic St. Croix River Valley, these two parcels offer exceptional privacy, access to abundant public lands, and proximity to the St. Croix River. Whether you're searching for recreational acreage, a weekend getaway, a camping destination, or a future site for a home or cabin, each property offers its own unique way to enjoy the area.

The larger parcel at 68xxx Old Ferry Road -- $64,900 offers approximately 10 acres of private land surrounded by the natural beauty of the St. Croix River Valley. With hundreds of acres of protected state parklands and federal wildlife refuge lands nearby, outdoor enthusiasts will have countless opportunities to explore the area's trails, waterways, forests, and wildlife habitats.

A cleared area is already in place on the property, providing a convenient starting point for camping or potentially a future building site, subject to applicable zoning, permitting, and other required approvals. Whether you want to spend weekends around a campfire, explore nearby public lands, or eventually create a permanent retreat, this property provides the space and privacy to bring your vision to life.

Outdoor recreation is abundant throughout the surrounding area, with opportunities for hiking, hunting where permitted, fishing, camping, wildlife observation, photography, and exploring the region's many natural spaces. The St. Croix River is also easily accessible from Lower Tamarack Landing at the end of Old Ferry Road, offering a convenient launch point for boating, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing.

Just behind the 10 acres, the 3.1-acre parcel at TBD Old Ferry Road -- $32,900 offers an even more intimate setting with a unique connection to the St. Croix River. This scenic property borders National Park Service land that has backwater access to the river along a peaceful offshoot of the main channel.

The combination of acreage, privacy, protected public land, and water access makes this parcel an especially appealing option for anyone looking for a recreational getaway or a peaceful place to create a future cabin or home, subject to applicable approvals.

Like the larger parcel, this property features a cleared area that can be used for camping or may offer potential for a future building site. Imagine spending summer days kayaking or canoeing along the backwaters, fishing from the water, watching wildlife, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings of your own private retreat.

Both properties benefit from convenient access to Lower Tamarack Landing at the end of Old Ferry Road. The surrounding public lands provide additional opportunities for hiking, hunting where permitted, camping, birdwatching, wildlife viewing, and exploring the outdoors.

The location also offers a balance between peaceful seclusion and everyday convenience. The 3.1-acre parcel is approximately 10 minutes from Danbury and about 30 minutes from Hinckley, making it easy to access shopping, dining, and other amenities while still enjoying the privacy and natural beauty of the St. Croix River Valley.

For buyers looking for even more flexibility, the parcels are also available separately, allowing you to choose the property that best fits your needs. The 10-acre property is available under MLS #7123462, while the 3.1-acre parcel is available under MLS #7123509.

For someone looking for maximum acreage and privacy, the 10-acre parcel offers plenty of room to explore and create a larger recreational or residential retreat. For those drawn to the water and looking for a smaller, more secluded setting, the 3.1-acre parcel provides a unique opportunity with backwater access and National Park Service land bordering the property.

Together, these properties showcase what makes the St. Croix River Valley such a special place to own land — beautiful scenery, abundant wildlife, protected public lands, river access, and endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

Whether you're ready to build, camp, explore, fish, paddle, or simply have a quiet place to escape, these Old Ferry Road properties offer the opportunity to create something of your own in one of Minnesota's most beautiful outdoor settings.
